Bug Description

[ Impact ]

GNOME Shell crashes on restart or when ending the session

[ Test Case ]

Under X11, try to reload the shell multiple times using
 - Alt+F2: write 'r', press 'enter'.
 - Or quit it writing in the run dialog 'debugexit'.

Repeat multiple times, no crash caused by x11 calls should happen.

[ Regression potential ]

Nothing known, window actors might not be painted on reload.

This bug was fixed in the package mutter - 3.32.1-2ubuntu1

---------------
mutter (3.32.1-2ubuntu1) eoan; urgency=medium

  * Merge with debian
    - Update to 3.32.1 upstream version (LP: #1826936)
    - Fix applications aren't focused in Wayland session (LP: #1826176)
    - Fix crash on hotplugging a dock with a monitor (LP: #1826182)
    Remaining changes:
    + debian/control:
      - Update VCS flags to point to launchpad
      - Update maintainer to ubuntu
    + debian/gbp.conf: update branch to point to ubuntu/master
    + debian/patches/x11-Add-support-for-fractional-scaling-using-Randr.patch:
      - X11: Add support for fractional scaling using Randr
  * d/p/x11-Add-support-for-fractional-scaling-using-Randr.patch:
    - Fixed crash on calculation of global scale (LP: #1826933)

mutter (3.32.1-2) experimental; urgency=medium

  * Cherry-pick patches from upstream gnome-3-32 branch:
    - compositor-Destroy-window-actors-list-on-destruction.patch,
      compositor-Disconnect-from-stage-signals-on-destruction.patch: Fix crash
      when exiting. (LP: #1813716)
    - 0-initialize a struct we'll be memcmp()ing.
  * Reorder patch series so upstream patches come first (no conflicts, no
    refreshing required).

mutter (3.32.1-1) experimental; urgency=medium

  * New upstream release
  * debian/patches: disable mousekeys with Numlock ON to match the
    documentation (cherry picked from the 3.32 branch)

mutter (3.32.0+git20190410-2) experimental; urgency=medium

  [ Gunnar Hjalmarsson ]
  * Add gnome-control-center-data to Build-Depends. This package provides
    gnome-keybindings.{its,loc}. These are needed if the translation template
    is regenerated at build-time to translate the key bindings defined in
    data/50-*.xml. (LP: #1823722)

If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-disco. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

Weird I can still reproduce this crash using mutter master from git (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/629), but there is no evidence of Ubuntu crashing since the above fix.

Ooh...

It seems the explanation is that the above versions were short lived. The subsequent version 3.32.2-1ubuntu1 is experiencing the crash still in eoan:

OK. I will not reopen this bug.

Instead I have separated bug 1826918. Please look there.
